    I've been rebooting since march and havnt watched porn since then. I have relapsed on several occasions, but without the assistance of porn. At this stage of my reboot, I feel comfortable saying that I am not dependent on porn or a fetish I developed involving girls wearing leggings. I am proud of the success i've had thus far, but at this stage in the process my libido hasn't made an appearance. I also wake up with very mild morning wood, I mean very mild. I am currently attempting to have sex and at times I do get up, and other times I dont. I've had weeks where I was able to have sex no problems, but with this partner, I'm having trouble creating an erection as well as maintaining the erection. I wanna have sex, but at times it is difficult even erecting. Is sex okay during a reboot, or Maybe I should stop pursing sex?

    it is possible you have done whats called negative conditioning, it can do massive damage on your psyche. Do not fall into a cycle of shaming your natural functions. If we think about neuroplasticity and what not, if we associate a negative feeling with an action enough times, the negative feeling will become involuntary (this is called Context-Based Reinforcement). Effecting your ability to carry on with healthy relationships with those you love intimately.

    or

    It means that your brain is not used to the chemical release associated with sex due to porn. You brain was used to it before, and to some even demanded the unnatural amount of chemicals in order to orgasm pleasurably or stay hard.
    Your brain may need more time to experience the chemicals on a natural level in order to react to them like it did before your addiction.

    these are two simple answers to your issue, it also is possible that you are not that attracted to your partner, you are experiencing an immense amount of stress regularly, etc. etc. etc.

    There is a lot I could come up with.

    Please read my post in my signature, At the bottom of it i will give you scientifically supported advice on sex with those you are intimate with.
